What with Ryan taking the VP nomination, Ayn Rand is back in the news. Here’s a 1967 interview on the Tonight Show where she describes her principles fairly clearly and succinctly, albeit with a supervillain accent.

Perhaps as interesting as Ayn Rand is the way the interview is conducted: Carson asks her a question, she answers… and he lets her make her point. Imagine that *today.* I can’t see Piers Morgan or Soledad Obrien or Jon Stewart or Bill O’Riley or all the rest actually letting the guest speak for more than ten seconds without an interruption of loud bloviation.
